Human Microbiome Project

Human Microbiome Project



Program Snapshot
The Common Fund's Human Microbiome Project (HMP) aims to characterize the microbial communities found at several different sites on the human body, including nasal passages, oral cavities, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urogenital tract, and to analyze the role of these microbes in human health and disease. HMP includes the following initiatives.

BEI Resources Logo
The Human Microbiome (HMP) Strain Repository at BEI resources (managed by the ATCC) currently houses 100 top priority strains available for immediate delivery to researchers and over 400 archived strains. Additionally, 300 strains are in production. There is no cost for the strains or shipping and handling costs associated with requests.

HMP






Researchers in the HMP are sampling and analyzing the genome of microbes from five sites on the human body: nasal passages, oral cavities, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urogenital tract.

Human body: nasal passages, oral cavities, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urogenital tract.

Program Highlights
NIH Researchers Conduct First Survey of Fungal Diversity on Human Skin NIH Researchers Conduct First Survey of Fungal Diversity on Human Skin



A research team at the NIH, funded in part through the Common Fund Human Microbiome Project, have sequenced and analyzed the DNA of fungi that inhabit skin sites of healthy adults in order to define populations across the skin.

Program Highlights
New findings lead scientists to a better understanding of an elusive microbe and oral health New Findings Lead Scientists to a Better Understanding of an Elusive Microbe and Oral Health



A team of scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) funded by the NIH Common Fund Human Microbiome Project (HMP) have made new discoveries about a microbe that is important in human oral health. Using cutting-edge technology, the team was able to complete full sequencing of the genome from a single cell.
